Donald J. Trump went utterly ape-dookey over Bureau of Labor Stats figures a month ago that showed the U.S. added 77,000 jobs in July. What did he do? He fired the head of the BLS.
He said the former bean counter couldn’t be trusted to produce good numbers. So he brought in his own guy. What happened in August? The non-farm job payrolls added just 22,000 jobs during the month.
The mercurial charlatan who sits in the Oval Office might offer an excuse for the paltry numbers. Maybe he’ll let this latest guy go and blame him for turning on the guy who gave him a cushy job in DC.
Whatever, the drama just won’t end. It is boring me to tears.
